"Announced in April, the MIPS implementation of the open-source
Android stack should continue to extend Android beyond smartphones.
Android netbooks and MIDs have already been announced, and
yesterday, Qualcomm announced its Android-compatible
ARM/Snapdragon-based "smartbook" platform.

"The Android port is initially targeted at the RMI (Raza
Microelectronics) Alchemy-family processors and specificially the
low-power, multimedia-ready Au1250 system-on-chip (SoC). However,
it will eventually be modified to support MIPS-based SoCs from
other vendors, says EA. Additional MIPS processors targeting
consumer electronics, and STBs especially, are offered by vendors
ranging from Sigma to Broadcom."
